The COVID-19 outbreak and the resultant regional and national lockdowns are having a major impact on advanced high strength steel producers. A number of individual production facilities have been shut down. In addition to the restrictions on manufacturing facilities, logistical disruptions are also impacting operations in the industry.
The advanced high strength steel (AHSS) market is anticipated to grow at an impressive 8.5% CAGR through the forecast period (2020-2030). Disruptions in the production of automobiles and a halt on mining operations will hinder the market in short term. However, resumption of industrial activities towards the end of 2020 will help in a steady recovery.
“Mining industries are anticipated to go back to regular operations during the third quarter of 2020. Moreover, AHSS producers are projecting a moderate impact of the COVID-19 virus in operations. Prices have risen amidst the pandemic which may hurt end-use industries. Moreover, market players are banking on product launches to sustain market growth post the pandemic,” says the Fact.MR report.
